Chapter 1
"How did my life end up here?" I just sighed, sitting in my office and oblivious to the stare being given to me by my best friend Stacy.
She first looked at me like I was crazy and I just rolled my eyes thinking, "Here we go again with the lectures..."
"I heard that!" She snapped at me in my mind then started lecturing me.
"Sonia Clemton how can you even say that!"
"First you have your dream job being a medical surgeon, you own a nice apartment and you’re an attractive 21 year old with whom men are always swooning at."
She paused for a minute then said
"Can't you see, you have the perfect life." After saying those words, she left the room leaving those words hanging in my mind.
"Perfect life my butt as unluckily for me there was nothing called a perfect life." I thought to myself. Every person in this world just had to have something wrong, missing or even weird happening in their lives.
Unluckily for me, I had all those three things happening in my life.
Let me demonstrate that theory for you. Firstly what’s wrong was that I could not find love. I don't even know how many men I had dated and I still could not find, you know "the one".
I was that kind of woman whose was always reading cheesy romance stories and still believed in fairy tales. Worst of all, romantic charming fairytale princes did not exist!
A girl could dream right because in the real world not many would die for someone or love another person more than themselves. That's because everybody was just selfish and put themselves first including me.
Secondly the weird part in my life was that I was born a super naturally powered being. If you don't believe me ask my great great....... Grandma Sally. I remembered the day I first discovered my powers while living with her as an 8 year old.
Flashback.....
Sniff...sniff...sniff, "Sonia, where are you my dear and are you crying?"
"I'm here grandma, under the table" replies the 8 year old me.
"What's with all the tears my dear?" she says while using her hand to wipe away my tears and puts me on her lap.
"Grandma I can't tell you." the 8 year old me answers.
"Why not, but you promised to tell me anything remember." she responds.
"Promise you won't make fun of me." I ask her and she nods her head while doing the pinky swear.
"Today in the morning while watching TV I turned into...." I look at her as she gives me a nod to continue. "A...cat."
After saying that I close my eyes while waiting for her to laugh at me like the other kids did but I hear nothing of that sort. No laughter or her making fun of me.
"I believe you." she says, causing me to open my eyes and look at her.
"Why?" I ask her surprised she believed me.
"Sonia for you to understand, let me tell you a story."
"A long time ago your ancestors did an honorable and heroic thing by saving a special tribe. The tribe members rewarded them with a special gift for that."
"What was the special gift grandma?" I interrupt her while she is still talking.
"The special gift was that in their bloodline after every 1000 years that passed, if the first born child was a girl she would inherit supernatural powers."
"So what am I supposed to understand grandma?" I ask her confused.
"Silly girl, what I'm trying to say is that you and me we are one of the girls who inherited the supernatural powers of the gift."
"So you mean to say that I have powers." Before she can respond I start blubbering.
"Can I fly like superman or make hot dogs with heat vision like that guy from-"
Before I can finish she interrupts me.
"I don't really know because you have to discover the powers yourself my dear.’’
"Grandma are you 1000 years old?" I then blurt out before she finishes what she is saying.
"Aha finally I was still wondering when you would catch up to that question. To answer your question, yes I'm 1008 years older than you."
End of flashback
That memory always put a smile on my face. Sometimes I really thought of being supernaturally powered as a curse when I thought of all my loved ones like my parents who died 20 years ago and my brother Phillip who died last week from old age.
I know you're all thinking "How come is she still 21 when her brother and parents died from old age." The answer to that question was just really simple.
Just like my grandma, I was gifted with age reversing. So what was missing in my life were my parents and my brother Phillip.
Beside age reversing one of the powers I discovered was the shape shifting power. This was a power by which I could turn into any creature I've seen. I don't think I will discover my other powers as I like to live an ordinary human life.
Living that ordinary life was not easy as I was always envying those people who found their true lovers and lived a satisfied human life. Sometimes I thought I was going to die a lonely grandma with 10 cats as her only companions.
This image made me shudder to think I could die like that; then I remembered I have a shape shifting power making me relax.
Suddenly someone burst through my office door calling my name. I realized it was Mike, a male nurse who worked here and was one of my friends.
I think he had a crush on me since I came to work here but sorry for him as he was just a friend to me.
After I thought that a small voice scowled at me, "That is why you’re going to end up lonely forever!"
"Sonia!" Mike called my name again as I seemed distracted. I looked at him and he then told me breathing heavily,
"There is an emergency in room W11 where some old guy had a car accident and needs medical care quickly."
After hearing that news I quickly ran to room W11 not knowing that this was going to be the start of a new supernaturally beginning in my life.
Chapter 2
Outside the room W11 I found an old man wrapped with a bandage on his forehead and being carried on a stripper as he had come by ambulance.
I could not help thinking, "I've seen this old man somewhere before but I just don't know where."
I guess you could call it De Javu. One of the nurses handed me a report document which stated that the old man banged his head on the steering wheel after hitting a tree.
The funny thing was that he hit a tree while preventing himself from running down a pig in the road.
"What was a pig doing in the middle of the road?" I asked one of the nurses. She just answered me saying "It outran its owner." If the situation wasn't serious I would have laughed myself to death.
I first told one of the ambulance guys to bring the old man into the examining room.
As I star
ted to remove the bandage around the old man's head, I could feel him wince in pain so I gave him painkillers to ease the pain.
A lot of blood started dripping from his forehead then I saw a small crack on his head. I was not really scarred of blood as I had been a surgeon for a really long time. But the crack on his head meant he needed an operation which was really dangerous and expensive to do.
I then noticed none of his relatives were with him so I asked one of the receptionist "Were any of his relatives notified about this?"
The guy just shook his head at me causing me to mumble annoyedly, "Do I really need to do everything myself here?"
I quickly asked the old man for anyone I should call so he gave me his phone and said I should phone Jake his grandson. He then fell into unconsciousness.
I searched in the old man's phone until I found the name Jake and I quickly called the guy. The phone rang for 5 seconds before the guy answered his phone.
"Hello." his deep voice answered softly making my heart skip a pulse.
A small voice whispered in my head "Who is this Jake guy and why is he effecting me just by his phone voice?" I quickly ignored that small voice thinking, "Oh its nothing."
I told Jake about his grandfather. I gave him all the details about where the hospital was and about the operation. He agreed I should do the operation and said he was coming over there as soon as possible.
His last words on the phone made me feel sorry for him as he said,
"Please make sure he makes it and I promise to be forever be grateful." his voice said this pleading and desperately.
I quickly ran and changed into my operating clothes then I called my operating team and we got started in room W11. It took us 6 hours to finally finish the surgery.
My palms were already sweating by then and my stomach was already screaming for food by rumbling since I did not eat anything since morning. That's what I get for being a surgeon but I loved my job any ways.
I went outside ready to tell Jake of the old man whether he made it or not. But when I went to meet him I was shocked by what I saw.
I was surprised to see about 27 people all waiting to hear about the old man. Wow I thought to myself this old man was really lucky to have so many family members who loved him; at least he would not die alone.
What really shocked me the most was the person in front of me as he is what you would call a deadly gorgeous beauty? His eyes had a mesmerizing turquoise blue color and his hair had a dark raven black color and was done in a neat looking cut which made him look more attractive.
His was wearing designer clothes which make him look like a superstar celebrity cost a fortune. The shirt he was wearing was a little transparent that if I looked closer I could see his six packs or should I say twelve packs which I wanted to run through with my hands as his built was incredible.
His posture was also so flawless making him look like a prince. His skin was a little bit pale but the lips made up for that. I found myself thinking how it would feel to kiss those gorgeous lips and believe me this guy looked like he was the world's next top gorgeous Prince Model.
He started talking but all I could hear was his voice not the words. Damn his voice was so alluring and I thought, if he asked me to jump off a bridge I would do it whole heartily.
This was so strange as I had never felt like this for any man in my life and my heart was beating like crazy.
I could already hear the song Can You Feel the Love from lion king playing in my head. I wanted to reply "yes" to the song thirty times if I had to because hell I couldn't deny the feelings I was feeling for this guy. I was in love...Ok maybe I'm exaggerating a bit on the love part but I was really very attracted to this deadly gorgeous beauty.
And why the heck, did I have to meet him at the moment where I wore my ugly looking doctor uniform, I then thought while looking down at the long white coat I was wearing. But then again I was at work, not at a fashion show.
I then saw him look at me expectedly while I was back to busy checking him out and that's when I realize he was asking me something. I also noticed the smirk looks on some of the old man's visitors who stared at me, making me think did they just see my go ogling mode at this guy.
My cheeks turned bright red from embarrassment then I pulled myself together and listened to how the guy was asking about his grandfather.
That's when I realized it was that guy Jake I had talked to on the phone.
I did not want to speak to him only so I went and took the speaker microphone from the reception desk.
I made a small fake cough to have everyone's attention. I first waited for a dramatic effect I guess you could call me a drama queen, then I got ready to tell them the news that would either break their hearts or make them the happiest people in the world.
Chapter 3
I then announced to the congregation in front of me "your grandfather is alive and in good health."
Everybody started screaming in joy and giving each other hugs. Some people I don't even know started also giving me hugs and kisses. I felt like I was in the scene were people were getting ready to die as the world was about to end, but then they are told they are not going to die. Little did I know there's some truth to that thought.
All that joy in me was shattered when I saw that Gorgeous guy Jake I was now in love with... Ok mostly crushing on, wrapping his arms around the waist of some hot blondie and they looked like a couple.
I started thinking to myself I should have known that a guy like that might already be taken. I even felt a twang of jealousy when I saw the hot blondie give Jake a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to hate her but I could not as she looked like a nice person and was one of the people who hugged me.
I guess you could say I felt like a broken hearted girl and wanted to shift into a mouse so I could creep out of here. Literally!
I ignored them even though I was hurting inside and I started talking to many people who were mostly thanking me for saving their old man. This made me feel like I was some super hero who's just saved the world as everybody was complementing me on my hard work.
I noticed that most of the people had pale skin and some similar features like Jake; I just thought to myself maybe it's in their family gene. I was then surprised to see body guards standing by the hospital door so this made me curious to know which important person had visited the hospital.
Just as I was about to go and find Mike so I can ask him about this, I noticed that the gorgeous guy I mean Jake was staring at me. He then let go of the hot blondie he was holding and started walking towards me and this made me check my back to see if he is walking towards someone else behind me.
After I checked behind me I was surprised to see him standing in front of me and really close. I had to fight the urge to touch him knowing he had a girlfriend... that hot blondie.
He first looked at me in a confused expression then his next words surprised me.
"I was wondering if you would like to go and eat dinner with me at a restaurant." He then asked me in that melodic alluring voice of his that was very hypnotizing.
I mean he had a girlfriend and just because he was gorgeous that did not mean he could date two girls at once....or maybe he could.
So I rudely asked him
"Why?"
"I just want to thank you for saving my Grandad." was his wonderful reply.
"I was not the only one who saved him why could he just not take the whole operation team to dinner." I thought to myself.
I declined him nicely and I told him "I'm not hungry." but my stupid stomach deceived me and made an embarrassing rumbling noise. He looked at me with the, I know your lying expression then I ended up being forced to agree.
"Stupid Stomach!" I mumbled grumpily to myself.
"I have to go and change into my normal clothes." I told him first as I was still wearing my uniform.
I went straight to the changing room and I took longer hoping he might just get the message and leave me alone.
&nb
sp; But "Nooooo." just as I was about to go home thinking he was gone I saw him standing by the exit door waiting for me and looking as gorgeous as ever.
"Wow today I don't know how many times I have said the word gorgeous."
I then noticed him chuckle after I thought that.
"How strange." I thought to myself.
I also noticed that the guards who were standing by the exit door were gone and this made me feel a little bit disappointed to think I did not get chance to meet this important person.
"Its all Jake's fault." I mumbled to myself. He looked at me with intense eyes just as I was coming to him that it was making me feel nervous.
"What is Jake`s fault." he then asked me innocently.
I was really surprised that he had heard my mumbling so I just replied "nothing."
I first looked around hoping the blondie does not see me as I knew I would not be happy if I saw my man going to dinner with another woman.
Just as I was looking around I then noticed Mike looking angrily at us but especially at Jake. His eyes were blazing red with fire it was like he wanted to kill Jake but was restraining himself. He looked very scary more like he wanted to turn into a monster.
"Maybe his jealous of Jake." I thought to myself as an excuse while I sensed something much darker about Mike but did not want to look into it.
I also noticed Jake looking a bit agitated as he noticed the way Mike was staring at us. My senses had started sending warning bells that something strange was going on but I ignored them.
"Men you can never understand them." I thought to myself referring to Mike maybe being jealous while Jake escorted me to his car.
Chapter 4
My jaw literally dropped when I saw us heading to a car which cost the same amount as a mansion. I should say it looked very expensive. He noticed my surprised expression at his car and just flashed me an angelic grin which almost made my legs feel all jelly.
